Re: [Rolly] Changing your picture icon

Rolly, I swear you must be psychic! Just when I was wondering how to do this, up pops your explanation! I've also gone to your website many times because I like the clear, concise instructions/explanations you give for moving to Mexico. Since we're in the early stages (house closes this month, moving early next year, fingers crossed), the best information has been from people that have actually gone through it-like you.

Re: [Rolly] Changing your picture icon

Rolly, you ARE psychic! I too was thinking about trying to put in a picture, when your post came up! My problem, however, is that every time I try, I get a message that my file is too big. I forget how much memory is allowed, but I don't see how anybody has a photo with a file that small. Also, I've seen some posts with animated monkeys marching across the page--how can they do that with the itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot...ooops, sorry, got carried away....files we're allowed? Waiting for answers.....Johnnye

Re: [Rolly] Changing your picture icon

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but my photo icon has vanished. The user profile still shows as if "custom image" should be visible. I tried reloading it and still no luck. Any ideas?

Re: [Rolly] Changing your picture icon

Last week I farted around about 3 or 4 days trying to install a picture of my wife and I and I must say it took me for ever to figure it out. Don't ask me how I got it or how I was able to reduce the size, I just clicked here and there and low and behold it worked, don't ever ask me how I did it. Thanks for this thread I now have a reference point should the picture disappear. Also, I was directed to your site roolybrook.com by uayaknah from the Mérida forum as I was seeking various information and let me congratulate you on a perfect site written in laymans term and so precise. Just the previous evening my wife and I were having a discussion on the requirement for driving and if we should get the FM or FM3 prior to our plan move in the fall of 06. Once on your site all of our questions were answered to our satisfaction. You have a perfect blue print guide for us to follow. Muchos gracias

Re: [Rolly] Changing your picture icon

Rolly, upon seeing this post the other day I began experimenting with putting a photo into my profle as you have described. I use Mozilla Firefox and I went ahead and did this sucsessfully with an experimental photo. Now today I went to change the photo, using your instructions, and the old photo keeps showing up. Then I went to Internet Explorer and put in the new photo sucsesfully. But no matter what I do I cannot change the photo in Mozilla Firefox, even though I can choose the option of no photo. Do you have any pointers on this? Thanks.

Re: [arbon] Changing your picture icon

I'm ready to "make the big plunge," and put a photo icon in my profile. I got an "error" and the message mentioned by others. Mexconnected tells me that the photo I've tried to download exceeds the size allowed. I'm not figuring out to change the size?! If it matters, for anyone who might have ideas to help me, I'm downloading from iPhoto (on my MacBook Pro) and use Firefox as my seach engine (is that even the right term? I'm such a computer neophyte!).

Re: [Rolly] Changing your picture icon

I want to replace my current "arty" icon with a photo of the real me. I've followed your instructions, but nothing changes, perhaps because I can't figure out what "refresh" is on my laptop, a 5-year-old Acer TravelMate. I'd appreciate your help.

Re: [La Isla] Changing your picture icon

Refresh is not on your keyboard; it's on the web browser. It's the clicker that resends the page you are on. On IE, it's the two green arrows at the end of the address bar. On Firefox it's the blue circular arrow labled reload.

Re: [Rolly] Changing your picture icon

Rolly, I just followed your instructions to the T but wasn't able to replace my current icon with a new one. I was able to delete the icon I've been using, but when I went to upload a new image, the former one returned. I tried twice. ??????
